Appartamenti Astoria

Appartamenti Astoria Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Appartamenti Astoria on Via Fratelli Rosselli, you immediately get the sense that this place knows its audience. It’s not trying to be the flashiest spot in town — instead, it’s that reliable four-star choice that delivers exactly what you need without any pretense. The building has that classic Italian charm you’d expect in Bologna, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about staying right in Bologna’s heart — you can actually walk everywhere that matters. I mean, you’re literally steps away from Piazza Maggiore and all those incredible porticoes that make this city so special. The couples who stay here aren’t wrong when they give the location an 8.5 rating; there’s something romantic about being able to stroll to dinner without worrying about taxis or public transport. You know what I love most? You can grab fresh tortellini from the morning markets and be back at your apartment in minutes.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with space to actually live a bit. Each unit comes with a kitchenette, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. You can store those amazing Parmigiano wedges you’ll inevitably buy at Mercato delle Erbe, or just make coffee the way you like it in the morning. The setup works particularly well for couples (no surprise there, given the feedback), since you get that cozy, home-away-from-home feeling without sacrificing the services you’d expect from a quality hotel.

Breakfast & Daily Rhythms

The breakfast situation here is pretty solid — they do both continental and buffet options, so whether you’re the “just coffee and cornetto” type or someone who needs a proper spread to start the day, you’re covered. What I appreciate is that they don’t overcomplicate it; the focus is on quality basics done well. Plus, with that location, you’re also within easy reach of some fantastic local cafés if you want to mix things up and do breakfast like a true Bolognese.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Appartamenti Astoria isn’t going to wow you with over-the-top amenities or jaw-dropping design — but that’s sort of the point. It’s the kind of place that gets the fundamentals right: great location, comfortable apartments with actual living space, and reliable service. The 7.5 rating reflects exactly what this property is — a solid, dependable choice that lets Bologna itself be the star of your trip. When you’re staying somewhere with an 8.5 location score, you’re not spending much time in your room anyway; you’re out exploring those medieval streets and discovering why this city has been feeding people incredibly well for centuries.

Bologna’s apartments welcome families with courtyard play corners, bike storage, and easy bus rides to FICO.

Appartamenti Astoria Accommodations

Reviews of Appartamenti Astoria

• Good value; clean; central. – Nancy from United States – 6 July 2025 (8/10)

  The hotel manages various apartments in different locations – all over the city. So ask which apartment when booking.

• Very good – Stefano from Italy – 15 June 2025 (8/10)

  Great value and great position, the room was clean and big enough. We heard no noises during our short stay.
  
  What could be improved: No bottled water in the room, and no way to purchase any on site… make sure you get some from the supermarket nearby…

• All good! – Elouisa from Germany – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  All clean, nice kitchen, nice bed
  
  What could be improved: I unfortunately lost a hoodie and they didn’t care so much about it

• Good – Tadeáš from Czech Republic – 22 October 2024 (7/10)

  Studio was clean with all necessary amenities. Big plus was a coffee machine, but…
  
  What could be improved: …in the morning electricity (on the one side of apartment) stopped working. We tried every possible scenario to turn it on, but it wasn't working at all. Every el. socket was dead, so we cannot make any morning coffee. Is there any possible explanation?

• Apartment is lovely and I would stay there again – Lesley from Peru – 14 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great apartment. Big king size bed plus two single beds. Nice bathroom and tiny kitchenette. (Coffee machine didn’t work tho)
  
  What could be improved: The entrance courtyard looks like not a good area but when entered the apartment that changed everything as it’s lovely. I think they should put pot plants in the entrance to make it look cared for.

• Superb – Sventhaviking from Portugal – 29 August 2024 (9/10)

  Saw some bad feedback, so I was a little nervous. Actually, the apartment was both comfortable, clean and cozy. AC was a little old but worked perfectly fine, the room is spacious, with a proper dressing room. TV is large and with SMART TV features. Bathroom is larger than appeared, with heating and hairdryer, shower was good with a lot of pressure.
  
  It's in no way a luxury apartment, but you definitely get all you pay for. It's roomy, functional and comfortable
  
  What could be improved: Some things can be better: the main thing to improve is the equipment provided in the kitchen. It lacks basic cooking things like a small seasoning kit, a cutting board, a wooden spoon.
  The dressing room had a broken light, which could be fixed.
  The frame of the chairs is broken or disjointed. It still works but it feels wobbly.
  The smart TV regularly disconnected from the WiFi and didn't allow to connect a proper Chromecast either
  
  These are all small things, but if improved would make the apartment flawless

• Good apartment – Christel from France – 11 August 2024 (8/10)

  Nice appartement, even if there was some things damaged. Nice staff.

• Amazing place home like – Alok from India – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  I liked the apartment and was comfortable clean and home like feel.
  
  What could be improved: I used booking.com gps so had difficult time finding apartment. Later i used gps location sent to me by owner and it actually took me to right location. So don't use booking.com gps location.

• Spacious, well equiped apartment in a good location – Renata from Lithuania – 10 June 2024 (9/10)

  Spacious, comfortable
  
  What could be improved: Dark

• Nice but could be easier! – Harikrishnan from India – 20 May 2024 (8/10)

  Location was good near to the station and close to shops and restaurants. The place was neat and tidy, with good amenities. A/C was very good and helped with the hot weather!
  
  What could be improved: Excellent coffee machine but alas no pods??
  Too many beds – for a solo/ duo traveler why have two beds and make the room cramped!
  Check in process at the hotel meant that I had to walk from the station to the hotel (15 mins) for the keys and then back to the station for accessing the room! While they had mentioned this in other reviews, I didn’t think it would be so far (1.5 kms).
